GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 07/16/2019 3:12 pm Thanks! I was quite suprised. I quietly paid and went on my way. $15.50 isn't bad for a regular cull morgan either. I estimate this one at VF30 so I paid well under book. Report this Post to the Staff
SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 07/16/2019 3:36 pm Man I hate bursting bubbles ... Grape, check the diagnostics for VAM 14-1, 14-1a. The "comma feather" on the VAM 9 has much greater separation from the eagle's leg. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 07/17/2019 8:47 pm I'm not convinced it's the VAM 9 either. The comma feather is much more pronounced than this one - I've cherrypicked two of them one was VF/EF the other was slabbed as AU58, I found them both along with a long nock 1878-S in a gold buyers shop junk bucket. so it can happen, though I found them back in 2000, right around the time the TOP 100 book came out, not so many people were searching for the VAMs then.
